What to Expect in HousingDavid Crowe, Chief Economist & Senior Vice President, National Association of Home Builders of the U.S.The housing market continues its slow but somewhat steady recovery in the midst of a slow and not so steady economic revival. What will the next year hold and will housing finally break out and return to its previous levels?

its prominence. The session will cover how different sections of the country are responding and what markets are best.

In 2014, Bostik is celebrating 125 years in business with a strong devotion to adhesives, sealants, and converted products that bond things together.

WEDNESDAY GENERAL KEYNOTE LuNCH

How the Information Economy has Neutralized and Marginalized the Traditional Selling Value Proposition of CompaniesRichard Farrell, President, Tangent Knowledge SystemsThis presentation will focus on how to get your members to reengineer their value proposition around

the problems they fix and address, as opposed to the overly familiar and tired approach of the solution that they deliver. All their competitors are doing the latter and that’s why it is so difficult for them to differentiate themselves from their competition. This ultimately results in commoditization.Richard Farrell is President of Tangent Knowledge Systems. Having been responsible for sales and business development for nearly 25 years. He has worked with a range of companies from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups in helping them optimize their performance by assessing their sales people, sales processes, management structure and strategies. In working with his clients Richard has helped identify performance gaps and provided sales plans to help track, measure and execute objectives to increase the company’s bottom line. Today in his role of President of Tangent Knowledge Systems, Richard continues to actively sell, prospect and manage client relationships in addition to the high performance training and development programs he personally conducts.

Waterborne Adhesives Short Course Program DescriptionWaterborne adhesives are a logical choice for many end use applications where versatile and environmentally friendly solutions are desired. These low VOC (volatile organic compounds) adhesives are easily formulated to optimize performance for a wide variety of applications where water clean-up is important. Fundamental knowledge of formulating and use of this adhesive class will help you to select, design, apply and trouble shoot your adhesive package and ultimately add to your bottom line.

The two-day course reviews the base polymers used in waterborne adhesives today and how to formulate with additives for specific applications. Attendees will learn common methods of application as well as mechanical and rheological behavior of the adhesive before and after bonding.

Who Should Attend?This course is ideal for adhesive and sealant chemists, application engineers, sales and marketing staff from manufacturers, raw material & equipment suppliers and consumer goods companies that use adhesives and sealants.
